Thread: Lightsaber Bug and CA Bug Cause (NOT CRYSTAL BUG!!!)

There's actually a test performed by a pistoleer that shows the same thing; The modified speed is not being taken into account when performing any special other than the basic.
The only excpetions to this is doc buffs or force speed, as these don't work of the aforementioned skill mods.
Interesting, because I saw other tests by riflemen getting their actual rate of fire up to 1 per second.
If it's game-wide, then there really isn't much point in being a weapon specialist of ANY sort.
Edit: Additionally, I don't believe anyone else has yet noticed, that the cooldowns are exactly matching the weapon BASE speeds. That, alone, warrants looking at.

FS2 should still have an effect, since buffs are applied separately. Whether saber hit is the way to go depends on just how high your speed can get - if you can attack twice as fast with saber hit as withnon-basics, then yeah, that's the way to go.
And you know, if this bug affects ALL non-basic attacks for all professions, that goes a long way toward explaining why BH/Pistoleers are jokes while BH/CM's are killing machines. Pistoleers have a heavy investment in weapon speed, where BH and CM barely get any, instead getting their bonuses in other areas....

Did they say they were using skill mods to do it? I'm guessing doc buffs and slices, possibly speed pups aswell, as the speed buffs all appear to work, and the other two modify the actual speed of the weapon.

They weren't buffed, but it's possible they were using a speed pup and forgot to take it off.
good post.
i've definitely noticed this but didn't give it a second thought as to it being a bug.
i always wondered why if my saber is 1.67 spd, i'm hitting every 3+ seconds.
after a while you just accept what is given you no questions asked. lol

Was wondering why my +24 ls speed tape was making no difference. So, right now the only thing we can conclude is that fs2 is not worth the force and CAs are not worth the sockets.
Is it viable to use Saber hit with max buffs instead of specials?
I can confirm this bug. I've always been a Master LS and always thought secondary attacks were suppose to be slower then the base saber hit to equalize us to everyone else. With 660 dps, 1.29 attack speed i hit nearly every second when i cycle between saber hit and my secondary attacks, but I remembered when I was a BH/Rifles and never had to deal with this when usen ranged shot. I always had the dps for all my extreme damaging attacks. Absolutly a bug.
5 Stars to the poster, hope this is fixed soon.
